The new M2020L is a high-quality stainless steel equipment measuring 2.7 inches (68 mm) x 1.0 inches (25 mm). Therefore, it fits any sample holder of the microscope stage.
QCSMS is a handheld microtome. Its name stands for fast cross-section microscope slide. These devices are fast and practical to use, and are durable and of high quality.
The new M2020L is a high-quality stainless steel equipment measuring 2.7 inches (68 mm) x 1.0 inches (25 mm). Therefore, it fits any sample holder of the microscope stage.
The thickness of the device is only 0.02 inches (or 0.5 mm)! It has the narrowest slot of all QCSMS slicers I have made so far. Therefore, M2020L is also suitable for observing cross-sections under transmitted light.
The cross-sectional area of M2020L is very small. It has a very narrow slit width (only 0.5 mm) and a slit length of 3 mm, making it ideal for use in situations with limited cross-sectional samples. Therefore, the new QCSMS is very suitable for forensic applications.
M2020L now replaces M2524L, the cross section made with the new M2020L is 20% thinner, and the groove width is reduced by 16%.
"I am a forensic fiber inspector and used MIECO's QCSMS slicer to prepare cross-sections of clothing reference fibers. This practical slicer allows me to quickly check the different fiber types in the fiber yarn. I highly recommend it Used for forensic fiber inspection." said Chris DeVal, a forensic scientist and author of the book "Microscopic examination in forensic fiber inspection". Practical photo collection and training tools. "
"The MIECO microtome we bought is of high quality and exquisite workmanship. Due to the thin nature of the fixtures, manufacturing such equipment may be challenging. For fiber cross-sections, it is best to make the slices as thin as possible to transmit light. It took a few years to find Appropriately, many computer labs are willing to try, but none of them know much about the use of the final product. The fixtures they make are generally too thick and the grooves are too wide. They are basic at best.
When I talked to Jay at MIECO, he recommended one of his devices. I asked him if he could make it thinner. He was reluctant, but still tried. He sent them all out, but warned that the thinner one was unlikely to hold up. It has been five years since these two devices have been put into use in our central laboratory. Both look and work great. This is a tribute to Jay's craftsmanship and knowledge of the end use. It is also worth noting that technicians who are good at making cross sections are a contributing factor to the life of the luminaire. "Former Microscope Lab Manager Jeff Bowen said
